to Melany
Sonata for Violin
Jacob Mashak
Violin and bow sit on a resonant table, headstock to the performer's left, tailpiece to the right. All strings are as loose as possible, just tight enough to keep the bridge and tailpiece on. The bow is tightened such that it is on the verge of snapping. Tools (wire and bolt cutters) are hidden from the audience's view.
